Also known as corn salad or lamb's lettuce. I love mache: ever since I had it in France I miss it and I want it back. It's a gorgeous, delicate, soft little leafy thing, like watercress in its daintiness and sage in its rounded, formed leaves. A perfect sweet-leaved wonder, a masterpiece of miniature herbal architecture.

I wonder if anyone grows or sells it here? I have never ever seen it in Brisbane.
